U2 is an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976, featuring Bono on vocals, the Edge on guitar, keyboards and vocals, Adam Clayton on bass, and Larry Mullen Jr. on drums. Starting with post-punk roots, their sound grew into a signature style defined by anthemic songs and the Edge's distinctive guitar effects. Known for passionate lyrics addressing personal, spiritual, and sociopolitical themes, U2 has become globally recognized for their groundbreaking and visually ambitious live shows.

Later works saw a return to more mainstream rock, maintaining their status as major touring artists. With 15 studio albums and estimated worldwide sales between 150 and 170 million records, U2 is one of the best-selling music acts of all time.
